Don't know if the factory ever used them, or if it was just a popular add on. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 388 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 388 | Postal, I use to have a '53 DeLuxe cab with that same ornament on it with the red acrylic jet nose but not with the Buick loop mounted to it.It fit ths same profile as the hood but was not original. u have one of a kind.Good Luck | | | | | Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 12 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 12 |

Your ornament is a combination of two one of them the lower half looks like it's from a 49-50 Chevy, is the insert in the lower half red? The upper part is late 40's Buick. The Buick part is called a bomb site.
